Spanish Eddie Laura Branigan

[Verse 1]
There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
There wasn't a lot
So the breaks that you've got, you know you took

[Pre-Chorus]
And I remember wonderin' where you've been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

[Chorus]
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie failed, sanity prevailed

[Verse 2]
It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out of style uptown

[Pre-Chorus]
And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
